In the forest, the cries of beasts were incessant.
He Chuan flew over the seemingly endless forest, his speed increasing to the maximum.
Unfortunately, even though he had roughly checked all the strange beasts within a radius of tens of miles around Glory City within a few minutes, the result was still nothing.
Not to mention those strange beasts that could control the power of elements, he didn’t even see one that was more than ten meters long.
After flying for a while more, He Chuan couldn’t hold on any longer. He returned to the ground to recuperate.
Although this search was very efficient, it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
In just a short while, nearly thirty percent of his spiritual energy in had been consumed, which greatly affected his combat power.
He had no choice. In order to avoid any unexpected situations, he could only use his Tyrannical True Cultivation Manual to recover his condition.
When the spiritual Qi in his body was almost full, He Chuan resumed his search.
In the end, he found the corpse of a strange beast not too far away.
He walked up and saw the beast’s body was covered with mottled weapon wounds.
The fatal wound was the penetrating wound on its heart, and frost surrounded its fur. It seemed to be the work of a spirit cultivator who could control ice.
He Chuan frowned slightly.
With the beast tide flooding in, how could there still be awakened ones adventuring outside?
It would have been fine if it had been under normal circumstances.
Most of the strange beasts were defending their territory and wouldn’t run around.
No matter how loud the fight between you and the strange beasts was, it wouldn’t cause other strange beasts to come and join in.
But it was different now.
The strange beasts had long gone into a frenzy.
Unless you killed them instantly, the nearby strange beasts would definitely come and attack them in groups upon hearing the sound.
Judging from the traces left at the scene, it was definitely not the former.
There were quite a number of giant strange beasts’ running trails on the ground.
It was evident that this awakened was in trouble.
‘Should I go and take a look?’
He Chuan pondered for a while in his heart, but in the end, he decided to follow the tracks.
There were a few footprints on the ground that were unusually large.
It might be the target he was looking for.
Judging from the unmelted frost, the battle should not be over for long.
With his speed, it would be effortless for him to catch up with the beasts.
He Chuan circulated his spiritual energy and rose into the air again.
Not long after, he saw a large group of beasts gathering at the foot of a cliff.
Taking a closer look, the scene was too horrible to look at.
In the center, there was a beautiful girl who was covered in ice crystals.
She was covered in blood, and there were a few wounds on her thighs and chest caused by being pierced by sharp teeth. It seemed that she had died from her serious injuries.
However, the ice crystals were exceptionally tough. The beasts couldn’t leave any deep marks even after chewing on them repeatedly, so her corpse could still be preserved for the time being.
The strength of this kind of spiritual energy was probably close to the peak third stage awakened.
Apart from that, there was also a large pile of mutilated corpses being devoured by dozens of small-sized strange beasts. All of them were beyond recognition, and none were spared.
Judging from the weapons scattered on the side, this team of awakened ones should have more than thirty people.
Even they had died here, so the strength of the strange beasts could be clearly seen.
He Chuan then turned his gaze to the strange beasts around him. As expected, he saw a few existences with abnormally strong auras.
There was actually that ape-type strange beast he had met in the deduction back then among them!
“Let me see how powerful you are!”
He immediately made his move without saying a word!
Flames lit up, and the high temperature instantly ignited the entire mountain forest. Raging flames raged along with it.
Countless strange beasts died upon contact, and even the ice crystals wrapped around the young girl melted bit by bit under the terrifying temperature.
In an instant, only a few strange beasts that could control elements were left.
They roared at the sky in unison, using their respective abilities trying to knock He Chuan down from the sky.
He Chuan was prepared for the battle. First, he used the flame barrier to protect his entire body. Then, he took out the demonic Buddhist monk knife he had never used before.
The knife’s was shrouded in black qi. Just by holding it in his hand, he could feel the evil power retained within.
He felt it would be a challenging battle for him, so he attacked with his strongest skill.
In the end, the blade slashed down.
The strong wind swept over. Not only did it disperse the attacks of those strange beasts, but the extended blade energy also easily cut through their bodies!
What was going on?
The unrivaled existence in the deductive world was as useless as a piece of paper in front of him?
“Am I too strong?”
He Chuan was greatly surprised. He lowered his head to look at the weapon in his hand. “Or is this demonic knife too powerful?”
“Roar!”
Below him, the ape-like strange beast with its arms and legs chopped off let out an indignant roar.
He Chuan kept away the demonic knife and fought with it, but the result was still the same.
All the strange beasts, including the giant ape, were killed in one move by him. They had no room to fight back at all. They were ridiculously weak.
Could this be the reason for the destruction of Glory City?
Could it be that he had guessed wrong?
He Chuan felt that it wasn’t that simple.
He felt he had overlooked some details but couldn’t figure out what they were at the moment.
Forget it!
Let’s not dwell on this.
He Chuan felt that the core issue was still his strength.
If he was now a ninth stage awakened and had reached the peak of the world, would he still be worried about the beast tide?
There was no need for that!
He immediately burned all the corpses of the beasts and collected all the spirit crystals, preparing to bring them back to Glory City.
After that, there was only the corpse of a young lady whose ice crystals mainly had melted.
Hm?
Wait a minute…
She didn’t seem to be dead yet.
When He Chuan got closer, he realized that the young lady’s body was still emitting spiritual energy fluctuations.
The ice elemental energy was even healing the wound bit by bit!
However, it seemed to be very slow.
It seemed the girl had used a large amount of spiritual energy to resist the invasion caused by his fire ability in order to maintain the existence of the ice crystals.
Otherwise, if he let her heal herself like this, she might still be able to survive.
This made He Chuan feel a little embarrassed.
If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have died if the beasts lost their patience and dispersed?
